Breakout Film Challenge 2011

We have some awesome filmmakers here in Arizona and we want to help your film break out and get seen all over the world! You’ll have more than just a final film to submit, but we’ll help make resources available to you, so you can take your time and do it right!

Membership is the Key! Now is the best time to become an IFP Phoenix Member, trust us! Discounts on team registration and on all upcoming workshops and seminars. Membership will quickly pay for itself, and continue to pay for itself if you plan on participating in other IFP Phoenix challenges and seminars/workshops over the next year!

The Criteria

We are skipping the traditional Prop, Line, and Genre criteria for this round. Instead, we want to inspire your team with just a THEME. What is a theme you ask? It is the underlying message of your film, separate from your story, genre, and dialog. It is the heart of any story. For examples and more information about themes, visit a few of these websites: Samples, Information, Presentation.

Also, you’ll be delivering more than just a final film for judging. You’ll have to deliver a trailer, digital artwork, and marketing materials too.

So What Makes it so Challenging?

With minimal requirements, what makes it so challenging you ask? Make a film that will get Arizona noticed! Can you make a film that will get the attention of filmgoers and gain the respect of other filmmakers across the country? That is a challenge! If you succeed, you’ll not only make a name for yourself, but you’ll help all of Arizona succeed in building a stronger film community.
